“We’re proud to be the winner of the very first Leading Lights award for edge computing strategy,” said Cole Crawford, founder and CEO of Vapor IO. “With Project Volutus, Vapor IO is bringing datacenter-scale computing to the edge of the wireless network, accelerating the rollout of 5G as well as powering the next generation of applications, including IoT, driverless cars, autonomous robots, augmented reality and services for the emerging smart city.”

The first Project Volutus Kinetic Edge city, Chicago, is online now. The company expects to have its services live in three cities by the end of 2018.

Project Volutus deploys edge computing deep into the urban infrastructure, building micro data centers literally at the base of cell towers and wireless access hubs, integrating them into the wireless infrastructure and tying them all back to centralized clouds. This edge infrastructure will support new applications, such as 5G, autonomous vehicles, AI and augmented reality, which require cloud workloads that run at the very edge of the network where they can be near the data and devices they support. Project Volutus has the potential to be the world’s largest network of distributed edge data centers.
